An innocent bystander who was shot during a “No Kings” protest in Utah has died, police said Sunday. 

Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, the victim, was shot during a protest on Saturday that drew approximately 10,000 participants, and he passed away later that night, according to Salt Lake City Police Chief Brian Redd.

“Our victim was not the intended target,” said Redd, who added that Ah Loo, 39, was just participating in the march. 

Gamboa sustained injuries and was reportedly found with a rifle and a gas mask in his backpack. Paramedics transported him to the hospital, and detectives subsequently charged Gamboa with murder and booked him into the Salt Lake County Metro Jail.

Two SWAT medics performed life-saving care on the victim before he was taken to a hospital, where he later died, police said. 

The shooter was cooperating with investigators, police said. 

Gamboa, who did not fire a shot, doesn’t have any criminal history, the chief said.
